The 2010s was a time when I wasn't in the best mental state. I needed something, something to do to feel like I was making an impact that I could see. I wasn't a great crop grower, I tried- I've got a green thumb but I'm not very good at the 'knowing when to harvest' part of it.

But the experience, it gave me something. I put seeds in the ground, I tended and saw them grow. In the 2020s I decided that as that was something I could see, an action of mine with tangible results- I would plant again but this time it'd be flowers. I started a butterfly garden and even with a tree limb falling on it I saved it during the winter and my bushes grow- I even added blue berry bushes to the lot. Planted some herbs caterpillars like hoping to have some around and even carrots as they like the leaves of those. It's an interesting garden I have and it's something I can always go back to when I'm feeling down.

It's helped me and I figured I'd share for anyone who may need that sort of thing in their life too.
